A Private Equity View

Scott Sperling of THL Partners says they've always found Goldman Sachs to be of the highest integrity.Goldman is still one of the leading firms that help advise and finance private equity.This fraud charge probably does not have long legs as far as the market itself is concerned.
A year ago,there was enormous uncertainty about the global economy.Today,the economy has stabilized.THL is seeing reasonably good growth throughout most of their portfolio companies.Today they're back to a much more normal level of financing.Today you're looking at deal structures of 35-40% equity.
Historically,THL has done best when the debt level is normalized or below normal.They try to remain highly disciplined,Scott Sperling explained.
THL Partners is not a publicly traded company.
